These 7 basics every man needs
Every morning, putting together a good men's outfit takes a lot of time. That is why it is nice to be able to rely on a number of key outfits made up of fine basics. The great thing about basics is that you can combine them endlessly and use them for different occasions. Because basic pieces have no patterns, they are suitable both for a casual garden party and a day at the office. And if you choose men's basics of high quality, you will enjoy them for many years. Could you use a few nice basics in your wardrobe? We have listed 7 indispensable basics for you. This way, you are ready in no time for your lecture or meeting in the morning!
A bright white shirt is always an excellent choice. White looks fresh and smart. Are you going to the office? Combine your white shirt with a nice jacket or pullover and trousers for a presentable look. On weekends, wear the white shirt casually with jeans and coloured or white sneakers underneath. Match the fit of the shirt to your body shape for more comfort. A slim build calls for a slim fit shirt. If you have a broader build, a regular fit shirt suits you well.
Just like the white shirt, a plain white or black t-shirt is an asset to your wardrobe. The white t-shirt forms the foundation for your business and casual outfits. For a meeting or wedding, style the basic t-shirt under your smart shirt. During a night out with friends, wear the basic white or black t-shirt under a no-nonsense jacket.
On colder days, a wonderfully soft men's pullover is your favourite. This smart sweater has a simple cut and is a timeless classic in the men's wardrobe. Choose a grey, navy blue or black pullover and combine it with your favourite jeans. Complete your Casual Friday look with a pullover in a brick or cognac colour matched to your black chinos or jeans.
Even if your workplace has an informal dress code, we believe no man can do without a stylish jacket. A job interview or an important presentation calls for a neat and presentable appearance. Choose a black or dark blue jacket and wear a light blue shirt and smart chinos underneath. For an evening out, it can be more relaxed and you swap the shirt for a basic t-shirt. Success guaranteed!
Jeans are the undisputed fashion classic. Not surprising, as you wear this denim piece every season and easily combine it with various colours and items. Investing in a blue men's jeans of top quality is definitely a must. A dark blue denim trouser goes with everything: whether you wear a sporty sweater or prefer a jacket. Want to go all-out with denim? Then choose a sturdy denim shirt, also an investment piece!
A beige or camel-coloured chino is a perfect basic that we gladly add to our list of wardrobe essentials for men. The cotton quality, practical side pockets and casual fit make these trousers ideal for every day. For a business look, combine the beige chinos with a jacket and during a summer day at the beach with a linen or trendy printed shirt.
You may not always realise it, but at a first meeting many people scan someone from head to toe. For the perfect finish of your outfit, therefore choose stylish shoes that are also comfortable to wear and walk in! Match a pair of black lace-up shoes or blue loafers with smart trousers for a fine office look.
